Stormy Start To The Week With An Amazing End In Store...

Today's Thunderstorm Risk Map

Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved across parts of Southern Manitoba today, with another batch of showers and storms moving across the parklands at the moment. Any of the activity will weaken as we head into the late evening, however another batch of showers and storms from saskatchewan are forecast to spread into southwest Manitoba and into the inter lakes tonight into tomorrow morning. Some of it may reach the Red River Valley before weakening in the late morning. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 35mm can be expected in those showers and storms, though the bulk of the activity will hit areas just to the west and north of Winnipeg, however there is a slim chance that we might see something. Throughout the morning any showers or storms will dissapate making way for partly cloudy to partly sunny skies though a reemergence of showers and storms are likely as we head into the late afternoon tomorrow especially west of the Red River Valley on into EastMB. Thunderstorms will be likely as we get into the evening with SBCAPES of 500-1000J/Kg Storms may be severe at times, though they will weaken as the sun starts setting. The storms will all depend on the amount of sunshine that we get, the more the better. However if it stays cloudy all day in the south, storms will not form and then we will have a grey gloomy day all day long.

The rest of the week will offer much calmer conditions weatherwise as a ridge of high pressure builds into the province, temperatures will rise into the mid to high to high 20's by midweek with increasing humidity levels and the return 30+ humidex values. A chance for strong to severe storms return by the end of the week into the weekend.
So the summer weather is finally returning! Sorry for those who hate heat..

Overall a stormy but wonderful week on the way, enjoy!
